More t ha n a yea r’s wort h of sel f a nd t h i rd-p a r t y e v a l u a -tion came to frui-tion this year for UNT’s department of electrical engi-neering when it received accredi-tat ion from the A c c r e d i t a t i o n B o a r d f o r Engineering and Technology.

The board is composed of 30 professional and technical societies that represent the applied science, computing, engineering and technology f ields, accord i ng to it s website, www.abet.org.

The board is responsible for the accreditation of about 3,100 programs at more than 600 colleges in 21 countries, according to the website.

The thoroughness of the process is a way of showing the world that a program offered by a college is excep-tional, said Murali Varanasi, the chairman of the depart-ment of elect r ica l eng i-neering.

“It offers an assurance to, one, the parents of the students who come here and two, the employers who hire our graduates,” Varanasi said. “… Accreditation does give them that assurance.”

T he credent ia ls of fer

students greater opportu-nities as they enter the job market, Varanasi said.

Obaid Masih, an electrical engineering senior, plans to graduate in December. The accreditation will give him

more options when he begins looking for a job, he said.

UNT’s reputat ion w it h companies like Verizon, IBM and Microsoft were already good, Masih said, but the fact that the program is now recognized nationally encourages employers to take

the students more seriously.

“It still opens up more options,” he said. “More compa nies a re going to take us seriously, like… Lockheed Martin [and] AT&T.”

G r a d u a t e s from the program a r e b e t t e r e q u i p p e d t o compete against

those from other schools, l ike Sout hern Met hodist University and Texas A&M University, Masih said.

“Compared to A&M, UNT has more practical experi-ence,” he said. “It just makes our chances better.”

St udent s l i ke Ma si h, DJ Wooldridge and Ryan Loudermilk said the accred-itation is another card in a strong hand in the competi-tive job market because of the experience students gain in their labs.

“The labs offer students the opportunit y to work on projects with real world applications, as opposed to ma ny prog ra ms t hat focus primarily on theory,” Loudermilk said.

Wooldridge said she and the program’s other gradu-ates have a competitive edge because the accreditation, along with the lab work, gives them the résumé employers are looking for.

“ T h e e m p l o y e r s a r e wanting people with expe-rience,” she said. “We actu-ally do have experience.”

Loudermilk agreed and said they have something to show to future employers.

“It’s hands on, what you can really do with what you learn, and when you have a degree, it’s more of a certifi-cation that you actually know what you’re doing and you can apply that,” he said.

Masih, who has been with t he program four-and-a-half years, said he is glad to graduate from an accredited program.

The change is noticeable, he said.

“I really saw the program getting mature,” he said. “Coming from then to now, we have improved a lot.”

“America the Beautiful” was heard throughout the walls of the Murchison Performing Arts Center as the UNT Symphony Orchestra rehearsed for its big debut at Cowboys Stadium on Friday.

The orchestra will perform with Tim McGraw at the Superbowl XLV Countdown

Live from Cowboys Stadium in Arlington.

The performance will begin at 7:30 p.m., and the UNT orchestra will perform in concert. Also included in the celebration is a tribute to Emmitt Smith’s recent acceptance into the Hall of Fame. The concert is expected to last until 10:30 p.m.

UNT orchestra students are enthusiastic about this expe-

rience. The 100 members will perform for nearly 36,000 guests.

“It’s a lot of fun music,” said Salma Bachar, a violin perfor-mance junior. “Plus playing with Tim McGraw, that’s probably my main thing.”

The orchestra has been rehearsing weekly on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays for two hours at a time to prepare. It

consists of wind players, percus-sion and strings.

“We’ve worked pretty hard,” said Salwa Bachar, a viola perfor-mance junior and Salma’s sister. “We’ve been preparing a lot for this concert. I‘m very excited to play for all those people.”

The performance will be lead by Clay Couturiaux, the assistant director of orchestral studies.

UNT officials are working on an internal proposal for a new college of pharmacy.

The college, if approved, will be split between UNT and UNT Dallas, with the first half of the six-year program in Denton and the second in Dallas. Once the internal proposal is approved, the committee will form an external proposal to present to the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board and the Legislature.

The College of Pharmacy plan-ning committee will meet today to discuss plans in the proposal.

Committee discusses pharmacy school proposal“We’re ent husiast ica l ly

and aggressively pursuing this,” said Warren Burggren, the provost and vice president for academic affairs. “Adding a professional school is the right thing to do at the right time for UNT.”

Planning the ProposalThe discussion started as early

as 1997, but nothing serious had been discussed until about three or four years ago, said Arthur Goven, chairman of the UNT biology department.

The proposal must also satisfy two university administrations

and the UNT System.“It has to be a win for UNT and

a win for UNT Dallas,” Goven said. “It will take a united front to sell this.”

Preparing the budget depends on faculty and facility planning, Goven said.

“We’ve got to get a dean and a curriculum,” he said. “We’ve got to get admission standards, and we’ve got to get all types of faculty policies and student policies, and accreditation.”

He has high hopes that the college will be worth it, Goven said.

“Everyone is excited, and

everyone is up for it,” he said. “We will get there.”

The Growing NeedThe collaborative effort with

UNT and UNTD would form a research-centered college that coincides with UNT’s efforts toward Tier One status and bene-fits residents of the Dallas-Fort Worth region.

“This is the largest metropol-itan area without a pharmacy school,” said Rosemary Haggett, the vice chancellor for academic affairs and chairwoman of the planning committee.

Goven agrees.

“We’ve got about 6.3 million people in the DFW area that have to leave the area to attend phar-macy school,” he said, because the nearest schools are in Austin, Amarillo, Abilene and Houston.

Texas is also in need of phar-macists and is considerably lacking in them, Goven said.

“We have a need on the level of students that want to become pharmacists, and we have a need on the level of citizens [who] need the services of pharmacists,” he said.

Allyson Ciaburri, a biology sophomore, said some of her class-mates wanted to pursue careers

in pharmacy but switched majors because of the lack of pharmacy schools in the area.

“They want to go into phar-macy and medicine, but they have to apply to other things or transfer schools because ... they don’t have it here,” she said.

If UNT’s proposal is successful, Ciaburri said, it would become a tremendous help to students desiring to pursue the career.

“I think it would be a good idea to keep kids here and maybe bring more kids … here,” she said.

In its second meeting of the semester, the Student G over n ment A ssociat ion approved the schedule for t he fa l l elect ions of t he Homecom i ng cou r t a nd members of the SGA and assigned senators to the asso-ciation’s committees.

The reports from the exec-utive of f icers of t he SGA included an announcement by Mercedes Fulbright, the SGA v ice president, t hat for mer President George W. Bush wil l speak at the Coliseum on Nov. 17.

The meeting opened with the state of the student body address by Kevin Sanders, the SGA president. Sanders focused on the points his ad m i n ist rat ion hopes to tackle this semester.

Those issues include an emphasis on being more env ironmenta l ly f r iend ly as an organization and as a university, a commitment to

being a fiscally responsible SGA and a call for a greater involvement from the group in the promotion and support of UNT sports.

Sanders also stressed the need for senators to keep the students in mind when governing and “refocus the organization on the ‘S’ in our name — the students.”

The SGA is the student-led governmental body of UNT.

“Our interna l conf l icts need to be put aside, and we need to work together for the common good,” Sanders said.

During the meeting, sena-

tors approved the schedule for the upcoming fall elec-tions for homecoming candi-dates. Election week will be from Oct. 4 to 8 and results will be announced on Oct. 11.

Election code meetings were scheduled for Sept. 29 through Oct. 1. Approving the schedule is a first step in the election process because it sets the deadlines for when indiv idua ls can bring up issues concerning the fall elections.

“ T h e s c h e d u l e w a s important to get informa-tion to students for when they want to bring infor-mation to the senate,” said Valerie Gonzalez, a senator for the College of Arts and Sciences.

Last year, the homecoming elections sparked contro-versy w it hin t he student government and the univer-sit y concerning the issue of a bi l l that would have allowed same-sex couples

to run for Homecoming posi-t ions. A lthough no atten-tion was paid to this issue during the meeting, the elec-tion schedule provides the timeline for the issue to be brought before the senate again.

“Students make the deci-sions,” Sanders said. “We just facilitate them.”

The fall elections are also where students can vote on the members of the student government.

“It’s the same election, just a different ballot,” SGA Spea ker Joel A r redondo said.

The SGA a lso assigned senators to the committees on which they will serve for the semester. The internal, external and fiscal commit-tees were made up of sena-tors who had requested a specific committee.

“We need people being passionate where they want to be passionate,” Gonzalez said.

Major world topics, such as the recent f lood in Pakistan or t he con f l ict bet ween Mexico and the U.S., have sparked interest in some UNT students.

E ig ht e en mem b er s of t he Model I nter nat iona l Organization had their first meeting Wednesday, and they agreed the group’s focus this semester would be on those topics.

T he orga n i z at ion wa s founded in 1997 and is a student group that promotes global awareness and diplomacy throughout UNT. It meets from 4 to 5 p.m. every Wednesday in Wooten Hall 115.

“M IO spre ad s aw a re-ness of cultural diversity and current and past world events and problems through inter-club activities and through national competitions,” said Cali Mikusek, an international studies junior and MIO events officer. “We raise awareness of current world issues and also help sponsor events and fundraisers on campus that aid others and benefit UNT students.”

UNT is the only university in the U.S. that has a model inter-national organization.

Other schools may have orga-nizations like Model UN.

Model UN is a league in which universities representing different countries compete with each other about current issues. The UNT organiza-tion, however, also focuses on academic and social aspects

Some of the social events include a conference that the UNT organization hosts every year for high school students so they can learn about what is going on in the world.

“It is the nerdiest and most amazing thing you can do,” said Morgan Jamison, an inter-national studies senior and member relations officer about the conferences.

Others in the group say they enjoy the intensity of it and being able to debate and prove people wrong.

The group hosts academic lectures featuring political science and history professors who speak about current issues. Typically, the group holds mixers and themed parties to make the group more laid back.

This semester’s theme party will be a communist party where attendees can dress up in red or like a famous communist.

In April 2010, the group participated in a fundraiser for Haiti and has sponsored an Invisible Children event in the past.

Shino Endo, an applied a n t h r o p o l o g y g r a d u a t e student, said she enjoyed the networking aspect that the group provides. Endo has been involved with the group for five years.

Students are able to travel, attend events and meet promi-nent people. Last semester they met Syrian Ambassador Imad Moustapha in Washington D.C.

There are six off icers in the organization, and each one has studied abroad. They said they attribute that to the group.

“The key to ruling the world is knowing how the world works,” said Louie Bauldwin, a n i nter nat iona l st ud ies senior and the group’s vice president and treasurer. “We want to create an army of well-educated, well-versed globetrotters that will system-atically take over the name of MIO.”

Bauldwin said alumni have ventured into nongovern-mental, CIA and state depart-ment careers.

He said there is much to gain from the group, even without prior knowledge of current international issues.

“It enables students’ l ife skills, like talking in front of a crowd,” said Gigi Kraynick, an international studies junior and the group’s president. “It also helps you in the real world and the business world by infor ming people a nd spreading awareness.”

The Pi Kappa Alpha frater-nity will host its first annual Poi nt Gua rd : Ba sketba l l Tou r n a me nt on Su nd a y at 12 p.m. in the Physica l Education Building.

L e d b y p h i l a n t h r o p y cha i r ma n Tony L opez, a k i ne s iolo g y j u n ior, a nd Scott Velasquez, fundraising chairman and a marketing senior, the group hopes to use the event to raise money for a scholarship honoring the late Tory J. Caeti, a crim-inal just ice professor who was killed while studying in Africa in 2006.

T he schola r sh ip i s a n aw a rd for t he g r adu ate studies program in the crim-inal justice department.

“We felt like it would be a good way to give back to the

p r o f e s s o r , ” Lopez said.

Since PIKE is sponsored by the crim-i n a l ju s t ic e depa r t ment, t he f raterni-t y ’s adv iser, Scott Belshaw, suggested that the fraternity help out this year, Velasquez said.

“It ’s u s u a l l y j u s t t he c r i m i na l ju st ic e depa r t-ment raising money for it,” Velasquez said.

The return for prof it is greater because of student a nd facu lt y i nvolvement, Velasquez said.

T he t ou r n a m e nt i s a good way for students to get connected because it is one of the first events spon-

sored by both students and f a c u lt y, he said.

“There’s a lot of events g o i n g o n t h a t a r e usua l ly just s t ude nt-le d a nd I t hin k it’s a type of network that

no [one] has really used yet,” he said. “It’s a good resource no one has rea l ly tapped into.”

Tyler Farmer, a mechanical engineering sophomore, said he feels the tournament is a good way to raise money for the scholarship.

“They’re raising money for people to go to school,” he said. “I struggle with finan-cial aid, so I think it’s a great

idea. I don’t know if I would play but I would definitely pay to go in and support the cause.”

T h e c r i m i n a l j u s t i c e department plans to sign up two faculty teams to play, Lopez said.

Velasquez hopes the tour-nament w il l brea k stereo-t y pes and aid on some of the “bad light” that has been shed, he said.

“I t hink w it h t his it ’s a really good way to say, ‘Hey, we’re not bad guys,’” he said. “‘We’re here, we can work with you. We want to help you. We are here to ref lect well on the university.’”

T he f rater n it y decided on a basketball tournament because the sport is “pretty u n iver s a l t h at e ver yone can do together,” Velasquez said.

The w in n ing tea m w i l l receive a $250 cash prize.

The f raternit y hopes to ma ke t he tou r na ment a n a n nua l event, Vela squez said.

“It a lways feels good to give back to the community, especially if it’s helping out other students,” Lopez said. “For t he f rater n it y itsel f, we’re rushing next week, so we’re looking for bids at the same time.”

One 23-yea r-old has a pa ssion for fa sh ion, a s revealed in his own clothing line, Unkommon Kolor.

“Basically, I just didn’t want stuff that other people had, so I would just make my own,” said Bryan Blue, a Carrollton resident.

Blue trans-ferred to UNT in 2007, but a f ter a year, he decided to take a year off and he hasn’t r e t u r n e d since.

He found it wasn’t neces-sary to be in school for five years to have a successf u l clothing line.

“Fashion to me is one of t hose t hings w h e r e y o u can be taught,” Blue said. “It’s l ike, either you can become a great director from interning behind great directors or you can go to school and maybe become a great director.”

W hi le in hig h school, Blue’s creative ideas started with designing colors on his shoes. A business soon emerged when his class-mates became interested, Blue said.

Blue saw a bright future for his skills and continued to create artwork after high school, painting on shirts and hats.

“What we did back then

was, we were painting every-thing,” Blue said. “We didn’t know anything about screen painting. Once you start printing, you look at it like it was crap. It’s too much time and not enough money when you’re painting shirts. People want to pay what it’s worth.”

Sta r t i ng t he busi ness in 2007, their shirts were terrible, Blue said, because of lack of a staff and the hand-painting technique, producing about three shirts a month.

S c r e e n -p r i n t i n g , a l o n g w i t h fashion shows a nd event s, has broug ht U n k o m m o n Kolor a long w a y, w i t h s u p p o r t e r s from Houston and Austin.

“We did an e v e n t w i t h a b o u t i q u e i n F o r t Worth called S h o g u n , ” B l u e s a i d . “We made 72

shirts, sold 70 shirts in just one day so sales picked up a lot. Right now, we only have like four designs left on the site because every-thing sold out.”

Je r e m y Bi g g e r s i s a co-founder of the clothing line.

He spoke to Blue about what his t houg hts were about Unkommon Kolor, how it could grow and from there, Blue liked his ideas and thought he could be vital to the growth of the company, Biggers said.

“There’s a lot of other brands that are primarily using Adobe Illustration or

Adobe Photoshop stealing somebody else’s graphics and making a T-shirt out of it,” Biggers said. “But most of everything we release we try to make sure it comes from us and not too much anywhere else.”

Although Blue’s intentions are to expand Unkommon Kolor, he sa id he hopes to keep it exclusive, not wanting their clothing to be in stores like Dillard’s or Macy’s.

“We w a nt to keep it boutique stuff,” Blue said. “Our brand is about being you. Unkommon Kolor. It’s not like ‘Kommon Kolor.’”

Morgan Farruya, a busi-ness ma nagement soph-omore a nd publ icist for Unkommon Kolor, worked with Bryan Blue at a boutique in Carrollton. The two have become good friends.

She promotes Unkommon Kolor through her blog and ha nds out st ickers a nd buttons, she said.

“It started off original, beginning with a little medi-ocre but it’s a lways been evolving into a more solid company,” Farruya said. “I ’m c om for t a ble w it h saying we’re one of the most popular local Dallas brands. I’m hoping that next step would be an investor.”

For the upcoming winter, Blue said he plans to put out jackets and crew necks, which makes Unkommon Kolor d i f ferent because ot her loca l brands don’t usually put out jackets.

“It’s crazy that something that started off as like ‘Hey, maybe we can make a few bucks doing this’ has turned into something major,” he said.

With hurricanes and trop-ical storms like Hermine hitting Texas and moving their way up to other states, the Red Cross and UNT Risk Management Services are finding ways to help people be prepa red i f d isa ster strikes.

The Introductory Disaster Volunteer Workshop is free and held its first session at the beginning of August and wil l continue to the end of this month.

T h e work shop helps communities and volunteers react to and rebuild from disasters. The next session is from 9 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. on Friday in Gateway Center 42 and is open to students, staff and faculty members.

“This of fers t hem a n opportunity to be a service

to their community and to be trained for when and if a disaster occurs,” said Millie Bell, emergency services specialist for the Red Cross Denton branch. “It’s part of being ready to act when disaster strikes.”

I n 20 0 8, Hu r r ic a ne s Gustav and Ike devastated the lives of thousands. UNT Risk Management Services opened up a hur r ica ne evacuation shelter in the Coliseum and called out for any available help.

Within hours, 283 students from Housing and Residence Life showed up at the shelter alongside Red Cross volun-teers and assisted Gulf Coast evacuees, said Luis Tapia, emergency management planning coordinator for the UNT Risk Management Services.

“With that tremendous

response and their eager-ness to help, I wanted to provide them with oppor-tunit ies to other volun-teer avenues,” Tapia said. “Bringing this training to campus is one of the most effective ways to do just that.”

The goals for the work-shop are to make people awa re of t he cou nt less volunteer oppor tunit ies available in Denton and to emphasize the importance of emergency preparedness, Tapia said.

“You get approaches and techniques you never would have thought of on your own,” said Lauren Simmers, an emergency administra-tion and planning senior and workshop attendee.

“It’s a little bit of every-one’s responsibility to help out, and if you care when the

time comes, then it makes you a much more informed and capable citizen.”

T he work shop topics include mass care activities, including shelter responsi-bilities, fixed and mobile feed and bulk distr ibu-tion of essential supplies, while instilling the funda-mental principles and Red Cross Mission Statement, according to the workshop handout.

“T he i nst r uctors a re seasoned Red Cross volun-teers from the community, who have run an emer-gency shelter a nd t hey bring tremendous insight by talking about their expe-riences,” Tapia said.

Ninet y-si x percent of the Red Cross is volunteer-based. Students, faculty and staff are adding to that

percentage with an average of 50 attendees per work-shop, Tapia said.

The workshop a l lows at tendees to receive a Fulfilling Our Mission and Mass Care course certifi-cation, which is needed for those who want to help out during emergency disasters, Bell said.

W i t h A u g u s t a n d September being the offi-cial months for hurricane season, the Red Cross and UNT R isk Ma nagement Services planned for people to be well educated on emer-gency preparedness.

“The volunteer spirit is strong in North Texas,” Tapia said. “I want the students, faculty and staff to stay informed so they can overcome emergency situations.”

students, fans and alumni who want to get their hopes up, but are too afraid that they will end up disappointed when the clock shows all zeroes against Kansas State.

After all, this is Dallas, where every major sports team has consistently faltered after showing signs of success. (Nolan Ryan, I really hope your team does not live up to its reputation this season.)

We need something that shows we’re better than our actual record. No more points, no matter how valid they are, about how UNT was inches away from winning this game or that game.

Fans do not need a false sense of hope where they are led on to believe that this season will be different from the last three years.

If the Mean Green had played an atrocious game against Clemson, if they hadn’t fallen short so many times last season, then the cause of hope would not be justified.

But in this case, it is.It played well, and UNT

didn’t look absolutely awful against a Tigers squad that played in the Atlantic Coast Conference title game and won a bowl game in 2009.

When UNT departs from its locker room, I’m positive that those who played on that humbling day in 2007 will keep it fresh in their mind as they face a Rice team that gave

Texas a good game. This year, Western Kentucky

is an away game, so fans are not going to be guaranteed a home victory this season. The Mean Green will have to scrap, hustle and fight for every point against a rapidly improving Sun Belt Conference.

Players and coaches fully expect UNT to be bowl-eli-gible by the end of the season. That’s a realistic expectation, and anything short of that could cause soap opera-worthy drama in December.

If the clouds can hold their tears for a day, there should be a lot of students who come out

and support the Mean Green on its trek to relevance.

I promise that this will be the last column on how the Mean Green needs to play this season. This week’s game on Sept.11 will be a good indi-cator of what the rest of the year holds for Dodge and company.

After the last snap and the coaches greet at midfield, the membership of the Mean Green semi-faithful should decrease, with the faithful being rewarded for their patience.

It should make for an inter-esting weekend.

Local rivals UNT and UT-Arlington compete SaturdayBY RAEGAN POOLIntern

The UNT cross countr y team is preparing to hit t he road r unning at t he UT-Arlington Invitational on Saturday at Vandergriff Park in Arlington.

The tournament has the women’s team kicking off with a short two-mile run and the men’s team will follow on a short four-mile course. The tournament features Texas Christian University, Texas A&M Commerce, Paul Quinn College and the Southern M e t h o d i s t Un i v e r s i t y ’s women’s team.

“This will be a short, but good meet,” UTA’s head coach John Sauerhage said. “TCU and North Texas are good teams.”

UNT and UTA were huge rivals when both were part of the Southland Conference in the 1980s and early 1990s. Since UNT left the SLC to join the Sun Belt Conference, the rivalry has died down, but the f lame still exists.

“It was a lways f u n to compete aga i n st t hem,” Sauerhage said when asked about his experience with UNT. “They always have top-notch runners. I’m sure we would like to beat [them] as much as [they] would like to beat us.”

MenB ot h U N T a nd U TA

competed in their first meets of the season last week at Baylor and Midwestern State, respec-tively. The UNT men finished

seventh out of 11 schools with an average time of 21:22.7 as a team. In comparison, UTA’s men’s team finished fourth out of eight schools with an average time of 20:03.11.

U N T’s t op p er for mer

senior Patrick Strong had a 44.10 second lead on UTA’s top performer senior Heinz Schwarzkopf. However, the Mavericks’ top five scorers

finished the race with a 24.78-second lead on the Mean Green’s top three performers, Strong, freshman Matt Russ and junior Nick Mahoy, who finished the 6K with a time of 21:26.0.

UN T f resh ma n Ad r ia n Nevarez, who was out with a fever last Friday, will make his f irst collegiate appear-ance on Saturday. Nevarez

should fill one of the top five scoring positions. Hopefully, he will help close the gap on UTA this weekend when UNT returns with its top five scorers Strong, Russ, Nevarez, Mahoy and freshman Wade Denton.

WomenThe Mean Green women

ranked eighth out of 11 schools last week with a team average of 16 : 33.72, wh i le UTA’s women’s team finished third amongst eight opponents with an average time of 15:21.49.

The Mavericks’ incoming freshman Emily Koenig took the individual title in Wichita Falls with a time of 14:31.88. UNT senior and top performer Ingrid Mollenkopf clocked a time of 14:59.4 on Friday. UTA’s top five women completed the

4K in 16:04.07, a time that beats UNT’s top three performers Mollenkopf, junior Sara Dietz and senior Sallie Anderson, who clocked 16:17.0.

UNT women will have to work extra hard with only four of the top five performers competing. Freshman Elyssa Garcia, who head coach Sam Burroughs said will round out the top five, has yet to compete in her first collegiate meet and will be missing in action on Saturday because of NCA A eligibility complications.

“They’re getting used to a whole new world,” Burroughs said in regards to the four incoming freshmen who will serve as top scorers for both the men and women’s teams. “The goal this week is for them to feel more comfortable.”

Baby Talk: A test of faith, or lack thereof BY BEN BABYSenior Staff Writer

This Saturday, the Rice Owls will flock to Fouts Field, hoping to repeat their 77-20 destruction of UNT in 2008.

After the Mean Green’s valiant effort against Clemson, head coach Todd Dodge and company showed they can hang around with good teams.

However, I’m done looking for moral victories. I, along with the Mean Green semi-faithful, need something tangible.

This semi-faithful consists of

“They always have top-notch runners. I’m sure we would

like to beat [them] as much as [they] would like to beat us.”

In the esteemed history of UNT women’s soccer, only three players have ever scored a hat trick in a single game more than once.

Strangely enough, two of the three accom-plished this feat within the first three games of their careers.

The most recent record owner has just gotten started, as freshman midfielder Kelsey Hodges became the second fastest player in Mean Green history to score two hat tricks during this season’s first and third games.

“It’s all been a surprise for me and I’ve enjoyed every moment of it,” she said. “My goal coming in was to start and get good playing time but I’ve been fortunate enough to make a difference right away.”

The Denton native has injected life into a Mean Green offense that has become more aggressive and dangerous this year, as the team is averaging 3.16 goals a game.

“Kelsey has really made an impact on this team right away because of her ability to pass the ball and score,” sophomore forward Michelle Young said. “The chemistry on the offense has improved greatly and she is a big reason for it.”

Leading the team with six goals, 12 points and 12 shots on goal, Hodges is arguably the team’s best weapon on offense - but number 15’s versatility may be her biggest strength.

Seeing time at midfielder, forward and even defender already Hodges is a jack-of-all-trades for the Mean Green.

“As a coach it’s exciting to have a player that can do so many different things on the field like Kelsey can,” head coach John Hedlund said. “Once we saw her in practice, we knew she’d contribute, but to watch her elevate her game to this level so soon has been a pleasant surprise.”

The John H. Guyer High School graduate makes her home around the goal no matter where she plays but has a strong history with UNT’s soccer field after watching Mean Green games in Denton since the age

of eight.“It’s a special place

for me because I’ve been coming here for years and I know every time I play here, family and friends will be in the stands cheering me on,” Hodges said. “To be able to play on the field where I grew up watching games is pretty cool.”

Success on the field is nothing new for Hodges, who was a four-time letter winner and District 5-4A’s midfielder of the year her senior year.

Growing up in Denton made Hodges wary of attending UNT at a young age, but after touring the campus and seeing the success of Hedlund’s past teams, she was sold on joining the Mean Green.

“Before I started looking at colleges I didn’t think UNT would be for

me, but I like the program and enjoyed speaking with coach Hedlund,” she said.

While Hodge’s position may vary game to game, the bond she has developed with her teammates is constant and continues to grow as the season progresses.

“I love the girls that I’m playing with, we all get along very well,” Hodges said. “It helps a lot on and off the field when you play with people you like.”

Hodges and the Mean Green look to build on the team’s 4-1-1 record this weekend when they travel to Lubbock to play Texas Tech and Lamar University in the Red Raider Classic.

The UNT volleyball team (5-2) will play against some highly competitive teams in the CenturyLink Premier along with an additional match up against UT-San Antonio on Friday.

The Mean Green, which is off to its best start since 1976, will face especially tough competition from Alabama (4-2), which is coming off of a championship-tourna-ment win from the Bama Bash.

Alabama players libero Kelsey Anderson and middle blocker Leigh Moyer received A l l-Tournament honors, with Anderson earning MVP honors.

“We need to just focus on good tempo, finding the middle and go up against their blocking scheme,” junior setter Kayla Saey said.

UNT will also face tourna-ment host Texas State (2-4) and Tennessee Martin (2-4) this weekend.

The Bobcats w i l l be coming off a home-opener win and the Skyhawks will be coming off a home-

opener loss.After the two-day tourna-

ment, the Mean Green will travel to San Antonio to take on UTSA (2-5) in a match on Sunday.

Texas State leads the series against UNT 20-4 and

Tennessee Martin with 1-0 in previous meetings.

“These are the best teams we’ve seen so far,” junior libero Sarah Willey said.

UNT has its own advan-tages under its belt as well, out-killing and out-assisting every opponent so far.

The Mean Green leads the Sun Belt Conference in both kills and assists with the team already racking up 350 kills so far.

Saey continues to lead the team and offense, leading

the SBC in assists at 11.04 assists per set. She also ranks eighth in career assists in school history.

However, one of t he biggest goals that the Mean Green will need to execute this weekend is the serve-receive aspect of the game.

“There w il l be heav y emphasis on passing to the target. We struggled this past weekend on the serve-receive,” head coach Ken Murczek said. “It’s going to a be a tough day on Friday.”

Willey will be helping the defensive end, after earning the Sun Belt Defensive Player of the Week after posting 78 digs during last weekend’s tournament. Willey ranks eighth in school history in career digs with 822.

“We need to focus on being relentless, playing scrappy and picking up every ball,” Willey said.

The Mean Green will take on Alabama at 10 a.m. and Texas State at 7 p.m. on Friday in San Marcos. The team will then face Tennessee-Martin at noon on Saturday and will continue traveling to face UTSA at 1:30 p.m. Sunday in San Antonio.

For those of you who have been completely sheltered from the news in recent weeks, let me bring your attention to one of the most insulting and disheartening stories I have read this month. Rev. Terry Jones of Florida is hosting a “celebration” to torch Qurans on Sept.11, 2010. This is not only a sacred day for Americans, but also the final day of the Muslim holy month, Ramadan. Rev. Jones is doing this in the name of Jesus Christ to defame the Islamic faith.

This puts Christians, like myself, in a very difficult situ-ation. As a Christian, this is simply another shot at our faith. Generalizations are made about us Christians constantly. We are marked as white supremacists, hating the homosexual commu-nity, and aligning as staunch Republicans. On top of that, because we believe in a God,

we are viewed as being close-minded, ignorant people who pay no attention to scien-tific fact. Just this morning, someone confronted me about a column I wrote for the NT Daily yesterday morning, in which they said that my columns revolving around Christianity are trash and should not be posted in a secular newspaper. All of these assumptions are made about Christians, and it is hard for me to say that I do not deserve it. When we have the fringes of our faith acting like poisonous vipers, it is no wonder that people view Christianity with hatred.

On the other hand, I feel conf licted by the commu-nity. I do not waiver in my beliefs that through Christ alone are our sins forgiven, and through Christ alone may we receive eternal happiness. So, what is the “Christian” view on this current event? I

like to look at what the Bible says in times when I feel most conflicted.

A cornerstone verse you will constantly come in contact with, whether it be on a coffee cup or bumper sticker is John 13:34. “A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. By this all men will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.” As Christians, we are called to a higher level of responsibility. It isn’t a legal-istic list of things we must do, but it’s a new way of life. We are marked in our faith if we are constantly showing the love that Christ showed us. Burning a Quran brings no people to Christ, nor shows any type of respect. I can assure you that the Southern Baptists would be going wild if a mosque decided to start burning Bibles. Now that I think about it, didn’t the

Christian community just get upset because a mosque was being built in New York City?

Our calling in life is to glorify Jesus in all that we do. Our goal in life should be to share the good news of Christ. Instead of burning sacred books, let’s start sharing the good news.

Note to Our Readers

NT Daily Editorial Board

Hatred fuels anti-Muslim protest

Quran burning hurts all religion

Editorial

{

{

Campus ChatWhat is your opinion on the

mosque at ground zero?

“People have a right to private property and as long as they’re not infringing on others’

rights they should be able to do what

they want with their property.”

“I think it’s great. The only reason people are

mad is because the right wing hasn’t been giving all the facts about it. It’s really a big community center with a mosque

inside and an interfaith chapel.”

In the small town of Gainesville, Fl. a determined minister is going ahead on plans to burn Qurans on September 11, this Saturday, which he recently declared “International Burn-a-Quran Day”.

Now, his hatred and anger has been further exac-erbated by the Muslim community center being built in the vicinity of ground zero and despite receiving more than 100 death threats, the minister is refusing to end his hatred-fueled campaign.

The Editorial Board believes the minister is just enraging already tense relations with people of the Islamic faith. His actions are outrageous.

Pastor Terry Jones, whose church has approxi-mately 50 people, says he has received lots of encour-agement and got mailed copies of the Islamic text volunteered for the burning. He has also received pressure from the White House, religious leaders — including Christians — and various political leaders to call off the burning yet he refuses to comply, arguing it is his First Amendment right.

General David Petraeus, commander of the forces in the U.S. and NATO in Afghanistan, e-mailed the Associated Press claiming that “images of the burning of a Quran would undoubtedly be used by extremists in Afghanistan to inflame public opinion and incite violence,” warning of the possible dangers the military may be put in by images like these.

He also spoke Wednesday with the Afghan presi-dent, saying the burning of a Quran would under-mine the effort in Afghanistan and jeopardize the safety of coalition troops and civilians.

This small, localized demonstration is having wide-spread ramifications. Mohammad Mukhtar, cleric and candidate for the Afghan parliament in the upcoming election, claims it is the duty of Muslims to “react”, nearly inciting violence against Americans.

There is a lot of outcry from Muslims because, to the followers of Islam, any material containing verses from the Quran is sacred . Anything containing the name Allah or the Prophet Muhammad is also considered holy, so, to Muslims, this demonstration is considered a slap in the face.

By giving this minister publicity, we are simply giving him the fame and notoriety that he wants. He is feeding off of the outcry from Petraeus and the anger from the Afghan parliament.

He needs to be cut off from this notoriety.People are speaking out against this for all the

wrong reasons. Instead of being concerned that Jones and his followers are spewing hatred and anger hypocritical to the Christian faith, people and the media are more concerned Jones’ and his church may offend Muslims. Instead, people should be more concerned with the horrific way these people are treating Muslims throughout the world.

An open letter to President Obama

Nicholas Stevens

Dear Mr. President,My name is Saad Nabeel

and I am writing to you from Bangladesh. Prior to my arrival in this nation, I lived in the United States for 15 years. My parents brought me to America at age three. It is the only home I know. I was attending the University of Texas at Arlington with a full scholarship in elec-trical engineering. Through no fault of my own I was forced to leave my home, friends, posses-sions, and most importantly, my education behind.

Nov. 3, 2009 is a day I will never forget. My mother called me and told me that my father had been detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement and that we needed to leave immediately to Canada to seek refugee status. Being an only child, I had to take care of my mother and go with her.

My mother and I were denied entrance into Canada and sent

back to the U.S. as if we were common criminals. I was sepa-rated from my mother and sent to a detention facility where I was forced to live with 60 other men, many of whom were hard-ened criminals. There was no privacy and I was forced to use the facilities and showers while fully exposed. I lived in constant fear of abuse. I was without food for upwards of 14 hours a day and received little to no medical attention. When I asked for legal counsel, I was threatened with crim-inal charges and jail time in a federal penitentiary. To this day I still have nightmares about being detained. Everything my parents taught me about human decency was replaced with humiliation. Mr. President, I hope you are as outraged as I am hurt by this ordeal.

In Bangladesh I am now suffering through power outages nine hours a day with temperatures well above 100

degrees Fahrenheit. The pollu-tion in the air makes me sick and I get food poisoning every week from the poor quality of food here. Raw sewage flows in open drains right outside of our apartment. I see people outside with mangled bodies dying on the street because of the heat and starvation. I see mothers practically giving their children away because they are unable to feed them.

I do not know the language and I fear going outside because I am different from everyone else. Speaking in English is an easy way to be targeted here. We cannot afford to live in a safer area. I have not left the apart-ment for eight months now because I simply have nowhere to go and nothing to do. I cannot even attend school due to the language barrier. I do not know anyone in Bangladesh. I have never seen this place.

On top of all this, my parents are both ill and have been for

months. My father suffers severe asthma attacks that make him bedridden on most days. My mother has post-trau-matic stress and cannot accept the fact that she is not at our home in Texas.

These events transpired after we were approved for our I-130 to receive our green cards. Our permanent residency is now available in the U.S. but because ICE forced my family to sign 10-year bars, we are unable to go home. We have been waiting for our green cards for 15 years now.

Mr. President, you are the most powerful man in the world, all I ask from you is to bring me home. All I ever wanted was an education so I could become an engineer. I just want to go home and go back to college. Please don’t have me exiled any longer. Please bring me home.

Sincerely,Saad Nabeel

Sudoku requires no calculation or arithmetic skills. It is essentially a game of placing numbers in squares, using very simple rules of logic and deduction.

The objective of the game is to fi ll all the blank squares in a game with the correct numbers. There are three very simple constraints to follow. In a 9 by 9 square Sudoku game: • Every row of 9 numbers must in-clude all digits 1 through 9 in any order • Every column of 9 numbers must include all digits 1 through 9 in any order • Every 3 by 3 subsection of the 9 by 9 square must include all digits 1 through 9

Sudoku requires no calculation or arithmetic skills. It is essentially a game of placing numbers in squares, using very simple rules of logic and deduction.

The objective of the game is to fill all the blank squares in a game with the correct numbers. There are three very simple constraints to follow. In a 9 by 9 square Sudoku game: • Every row of 9 numbers must in-clude all digits 1 through 9 in any order • Every column of 9 numbers must include all digits 1 through 9 in any order • Every 3 by 3 subsection of the 9 by 9 square must include all digits 1 through 9
